FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Kyle Busch led 179 of 200 laps of the O'Reilly Challenge in Texas Saturday and cruised to his fourth consecutive Nationwide Series victory.

Busch, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, started sixth, but blew by pole-sitter Matt Kenseth to grab the lead after 10 laps into the race. It was his series-high eighth victory of the season and the 29th of his career.

"We out-wrestled all these guys today," Busch said. "This track is fun. It's fun when you have good cars, of course."

Casey Mears took second in his first Nationwide start since November 2007. Jason Leffler finished third, while Kenseth and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top five.
